Package: slrn
Version: 0.9.9~pre97-1
Severity: normal

Make a config setting in the distributed /etc/news/slrn.rc and
it will have no effect.

Run:

        mkdir /etc/news/slrn
        mv /etc/news/* /etc/news/slrn/

Then try again, now the config setting is applied.

The following seems to indicate that there is a mismatch between
the site-wide config *directory* inside slrn, and the one the
package is using:

        lasagne$ strings `which slrn` | grep ^/etc
        /etc/mailname
        /etc/news/organization
        /etc/news/slrn                         <----------------------------
        lasagne$ dpkg -L slrn | grep ^/etc
        /etc
        /etc/cron.weekly
        /etc/cron.weekly/slrn
        /etc/ppp
        /etc/ppp/ip-up.d
        /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/slrn
        /etc/default
        /etc/default/slrnpull
        /etc/news                              <----------------------------
        /etc/news/slrn-help.txt
        /etc/news/slrn.rc
        lasagne$
